That is a good idea. I use cdrtfe when I am stuck in windows, which is a frontend for cdrtools. It is quite good, and suitable for advanced users as well (you don't lose functionality compared with the cli versions).

I think k3b is awesome. But heavy. I would say Linux doesn't have a good "lightweight" burning app. Besides, it would introduce us to many new users.

I do feel somewhat like "kidd" - it may be re-inventing the wheel. There are great ncurses, lightweight burning apps (bashburn, mybashburn) already out there and Graveman I though was excellent even though it had two bugs in it.

Why not take over the Graveman code? It's a great start, just needs fixing up and adding DVD video capabilities...

I would find a KRename-type utility which was not so bloated (not dependent on KDElibs) and bug-prone (last time I used it, anyways) to be very useful. It should be "safe" and it should provide an option to create a script which can restore the original names. The latter would be for situations where randomly named image files are "sequentialized" for processing, then their original names restored.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.

Pretty much mock the options that k3b offers, but make them work keep it light-weight (away from kde or gnome libs)

An entirely different line of thought for those of you interested. This might require some ingenuity and creativity.... so here it goesI've had thoughts about creating a "system restore" utility. This might be very useful to newbies.This utility would undo (up to some extent) any damage created by a bad upgrade.I think linux needs this.maybe find a way to log what is being upgraded. It may require storing information (if not packages) on the disc drive and maybe make it run in the background (or force gslapt or slapt-get to run it before any operations).

So far, that's all I got... if you all have any other ideas, let's hear them
